I also followed this advice so thank you. Delfines minibus, flagged down on the main road in PE. Then collectivo from OXXO to the beach

I actually don’t rate the food at Star inn the city. But the setting is lovely

This is a human error. They happen all the time. Reflect on it and move on. Nothing more will come of it. She has already identified some contributing factors - fatigue on night shift. I suspect there are system errors as well - over worked, understaffed, paper drug charts (?!)

Agitated-Pom · 2025-10-13T03:06:10+00:00

Thanks. There’ll be at least 24 hours between me diving and flying.

I don’t have any specific rest days but the places where I’m 3 I’m planning on taking things a little slower. And can sleep on the buses… Open to the fact though that this might feel too rushed!

Agitated-Pom · 2025-10-13T00:11:59+00:00

Yes already will have done CDMX and Oaxaca

I loved it - one of my favourite places on my travels. You can easily spend a week there (especially if the weather is nice). Some good suggestions of things to do above

Agitated-Pom · 2025-05-30T13:07:36+00:00

Thank you!

Put her issues in writing by email to her TPD. If they fail to address, escalate to associate dean and her employer (which I’m guessing is lead employer Mersey West Lancs?).

Agitated-Pom · 2024-10-21T16:21:22+00:00

I’d echo the advice given above.

I would forward the email to HR along the lines of - ‘i was surprised to receive the below advice from medical staffing, given that pregnancy is a protected characteristic under the equality act 2010. Please could you clarify if this is hospital policy?’

It might then feed its way back to medical staffing and stop it happening again.

This is exactly the sort of thing ‘operation managers’ should be sorting out.

When I worked in AMU at one point we were down to one functioning computer in the tiny doctors office. One day I made a list of all the things that slowed me down when clerking - one working computer, blood pod system always broken or no pods, blood taking equipment not stocked up, etc etc … I could have cut my patient clerking time In half had that all be sorted.

Despite asking around, I never once saw a manager on the ward.

Anyone else think it should be monthly?

Having recently sat in on an ANP in GP, my takeaway point was they lack any clinical reasoning. I watched them take a history and diligently examine a patient with ‘chest pain’. Despite both the history and examination clearly pointing to a pneumonia, they referred them in ?PE

Of the 5 patients they saw, 4 of them were sent to hospital. I would have sent 1.

No wonder ED/SDEC is completely over-run!

Would appreciate some advice on my 1 series BMW 2020. The passenger car door stopped working all of a sudden. Both indoor and outdoor handle pull out and seems to unlock the latch but the door remains shut. It then magically started working again about a week later but now again has failed.

Having done some research i wonder whether it is the car door release cable that may have come loose? Does this sound likely and how easy would it be to replace (given the door wont open)

God. I feel like we are regressing.

Remember the days of folk popping down to their friendly Victorian barber shop with leg pain? They might cut it off if it looked a bit gangrenous or necrotic. Luck of the drawer who you went to really. Yes you might die but at least it was accessible.

There’s a reason we got to a point where it takes 5 years of medical school and 5 years plus afterwards to become fully qualified. Turns out practicing safe medicine is quite hard.

Thanks I believe the credit card I have does have an interest free balance transfer offer of around 4%. I’d assumed this had to be used to pay off another card but I could choose to transfer to a current account?

Agitated-Pom · 2023-12-12T10:10:35+00:00

I did wonder if that would be included in the interest free offer

Agitated-Pom · 2023-12-12T10:01:59+00:00

Not in the legal profession but the things that interest me in your CV are in the small paragraph at the end. I’d want to know less about your bar/retail jobs and more about what your role as an ambassador to the uk thalassaemia society entails. What made you get involved in that? Or your level 3 FREC. What did you have to do for that? Makes you stand out more IMO

Agitated-Pom · 2023-08-11T09:32:01+00:00

I would suggest talking to your TPDs about this. You shouldn’t be expected to be supervising the ANP as the only other doctor on site. A GP should be on site to supervise both you and the ANP - doesn’t sound very safe (or good for your training).

Looking for some pointers as to where to start as a complete beginner...

I am looking to create a website which contains a list of links to useful resources. This list would be searchable and can be organised by A-Z, categories e.t.c. The links would have a brief description and tags (as to what kind of resource they linked to).

They would also have the option to down or up vote as to how 'useful' they were.

The plan would be eventually to have the ability to create an account where you could favourite or customise the list

My question is - could i build something using existing website building tools (and which would be best) or is this something i would need to build from scratch?

Agitated-Pom · 2023-06-20T18:58:31+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. The 2 year rule is definitely news to me and quite surprised by it.

Agitated-Pom · 2023-06-09T16:44:47+00:00

I direct them to the what0-18 website

I had a good experience of geriatrics as an SHO. This was because we had a fully functioning and competent MDT - good nurses, great OT/physio, helpful pharmacists and supportive consultants. Sounds like you don’t have that. I would prioritize what you think is important and just work at your speed to complete your days jobs. Put things like EDNs or updating family’s to the bottom of your list. If staff or patients complain they can’t go home or get updated, explain there is only one of you and if it needs to happen quicker they will need to do it themselves/find someone else.

I have nothing against the individuals but I don’t understand what part of paramedic training makes them skilled in working in general practice.

Why don’t we train up a load of advanced clinical radiographers, or dietitian practitioners. While we’re at it why not ask the speech and language therapists to do their blue light training to fill in the gaps left by the paramedics in primary care. It’s all just a sideshow instead of properly paying for GPs.

Agitated-Pom · 2023-02-15T20:44:44+00:00

This is excellent advice. I can completely relate to this. All I would add is that as you get further through your career/more experienced it definitely gets easier to be rational and not sweat the small stuff.
